“Calais” Vintage Navy Blue Gucci Bee Button Charm

Italian Luxury, Reimagined

This charm began life as an original late 1970s Gucci button, once fastened to silk blouses during a period when the house embraced rich colour and confident detailing. These were garments designed to move beautifully, and their buttons were crafted to complement that movement. Now permanently set in solid sterling silver, this historic button has been given a new chapter.

The Allure of the Bee

At its centre is the iconic Gucci bee, a motif long linked to prestige and strength. In deep navy enamel, it feels timeless and quietly powerful. The varying blue glass beads surrounding it enhance that richness, creating depth and dimension on the wrist. This bracelet stands out effortlessly and pairs beautifully with mixed metal stacks, adding heritage and designer provenance to your everyday jewellery.

Grab and Go Confidence

The charm is balanced so it does not hang too low, making it comfortable enough for daily wear. With each movement, the bee catches the light and naturally draws the eye. Strung on a durable stretch nylon bead cord, it fits most adult wrist sizes with ease. Slide it on, step out the door, and let the history speak for itself.

Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of hand crafted wearable history, by Porsha Bella Jewellery.

Now for the legal stuff:-

Please note, all buttons used in my creations are antique, vintage, or second hand, and will naturally show signs of their previous lives.  Such as gentle surface marks, tiny dents, enamel wear, or soft tarnishing.
Each button is carefully tested and securely set, but as these treasures can be well over a century old, they remain delicate and should be treated with the same care as any fine antique.

While the jewellery itself is professionally handcrafted from solid precious metals using traditional goldsmith techniques, designed to last a lifetime, the historic buttons, pearls, and crystals within these designs are inherently more fragile. Their age and patina are what make them so special.
To preserve your piece, please avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, perfume, or impact. Treat it gently, and it will bring you many years of beauty and admiration.

As each piece is entirely handmade and one of a kind, I’m unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements for changes of mind, or for age related wear such as button cracking, crystal or pearl loss, or plating lift that may occur over time.

If you ever have concerns about caring for your jewellery, please don’t hesitate to contact me for personalised advice.

Designer buttons have no affiliation with the original fashion houses. I take great care to ensure all branded buttons are genuine and sourced from reputable second hand suppliers & fashion historians.  Porsha Bella designer button jewellery is not sold on behalf of, or in connection with, any brand.
